Thumbs up Thunder_STI Hits 10 seconds**Update:Pics & Vids Inside**

Just got back from the track.

Did few passes on the car:

10.98 @ 131MPH:RockOn - not mine: , 10.97@128 and 11.01.

Replaced the tranny and is running at it's best. No problems.

But:

We ran with minor issues once again. This time the clutch is gone and we need new spark plugs.

Even though we still manage to run into the 10second zone twice. The car has potential with everything fixed. to Run a 10.5 - 10.6. With stock internals.

Will be going back to the shop next week to fix the minor issues and returning back to the tracks.

I was going to record all the passes but I got involved w/ the car. But someone else did record and will be posting that up asap.

The car sounds mean and comes out hard.


Thanks Much to:

Mechanic: Marcos Lacosta MotorSports

Tuner: Gadiel Maximum Power Tuning

Driver and supporters.


whoooooooo... About time; My dream has come true!!! I can atleast go to sleep in peace:RockOn - not mine:


The best will come soon!!



Will keep you guys updated !!!

Thanks Much

Jose

You aint lying about that!!!! True Fact!!!


Slowly but surely we will defeat these minor issues. We have been working hard at the shop and at the tracks (during). I didnt even have time to drink a bottle of watter but I did drink a beer someone bought me... working with the car.

The scene changes completely!!!
